Hi there,
I'm looking to change my headlight unit and brake light unit from the standard Golf MK6 TDI ones to the Golf R MK6 ones. looking at them they will obviously have no issue with fitting but will I experience issues because the Golf R ones have LED's on them? if so then will there be a way around it?

If you buy OEM LED headlight/taillights, the headlights won't work unless you retrofit them due to the fact that they are HID only headlights. The taillights will work, but they'll show a bulb out error on your dashboard. You would need to code it to remove it.

If you go the aftermarket headlight and taillight route like me, you won't have any of these issues. You can get replicas (pretty similar) to the OEM headlights which are plug and play. Same goes for the taillights. The depo tails are identical to the OEM ones. They both have resistors built in to them which prevents any error codes from showing up on the dash.
